Kenya Talks

New Ford Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa has questioned his presidential challenger Musalia Mudavadi's track record saying his tenure as Local Government minister was poor.
Mr Wamalwa wondered how the Deputy Prime Minister will change the country when he could not transform a single Ministry.
"If he did dot reform most markets in the country which are in deplorable conditions can you expect him to change the country?,” he asked traders at Kitale municipal market where he kicked off a caravan to traverse Trans Nzoia Country to drum support for his State House bid.
Mr Mudavadi has declared his interest to contest the presidency on a United Democratic Forum (UDF) ticket.
He resigned as Local Government minister after announcing he had left ODM.
The Justice minister criticised a section of leaders who are championing for the postponement of the March elections date saying they don’t mean well for the country.
“The March election date has been unanimously agreed upon by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and even the two principals (President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga) and whoever is propagating for its change is merely afraid of a defeat come that date,” he said.
The Saboti MP blamed the leadership of rival Ford Kenya party, which he accused of using violence in the concluded civic by-elections in Trans County to rig elections in favour of their candidate at Kaptega ward.
“We reprimand our friends who feared to accept change and instead used violence against our supporters in the concluded civic by-elections.
Youthful leadership
He also thanked President Kibaki and Mr Odinga for appointing Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba to the Cabinet saying it is a sign that the two leaders are keen on handing over power to youthful leadership.
“The two principals have finally realised that this country needs youthful leaders to spearhead its reform agenda,” he said.
He urged locals to support his presidential bid saying that just like his late brother, he has fresh ideas that will transform this country.
“I will conclude Michael’s dream which was to have a reformed Kenya where peace and justice prevails for the sake of economic transformation,” he said.
Mr Wamalwa promised to provide a formula for sharing seats within various communities in the cosmopolitan County for the sake of cohesion.

Another straw in the ocean....leta ingine...all candidates track records will be questioned. What is Eugene's track record if any?

He successesfully managed to dilute the integrity bill to pave way for his masters to run for PORK.

yeah next and that is the straw you are clutching?

What is going on? Uhuru seems to be fighting Mudavadi harder even as he warms up to Raila. He is destroying Mudavadi's viability as a candidate in case he is barred from running. Mudavadi can only be a serious candidate if 1) Uhuru is found ineligible to run, and if 2) Uhuru endorses him. Those two things must happen. If Uhuru is not barred then Mudavadi might as well fold up his campaign and beg Uhuru for a VP slot which I think Wamalwa has bagged in. If Uhuru is barred and he does not endorse Mudavadi and decides to run his own candidate, then Mudavadi is Kaput. Mudavadi's presidential race depends on Uhuru. In the end Mudavadi will again wish he stayed with Raila. The man was born to make poor choices.

Why is Hon Wamalwa trying to remove a peck from his brother's eye Hon .Mudavadi , when their is a log in his own eye.What can he say a bout a watered down Integrity Bill?Where is his leadership skills on this issue? He should not use the name of his late brother Hon.Michael to seek for the vote . He should on the contrary stand on his feet as Hon. Eugene and tell Kenyans what he will do as the next leader of this country . And not cheap politicking.Shut up if you have nothing to say .What will you change or it's mere verbal diarrhea, be realistic. Who 's a clean track record in Kenyan leadership? That's why we needed a strong integrity Bill to clean up the dirt on the political track.You failed us meserably as a people .

They are at it again,basing their campaigns on individual personalities rather than policies.What is Eugine doing at Justice and Constitution Ministry,to ensure that the Supreme Law-The Kenyan Constitution,is followed?
In any case,does he have an idea of how the two principals,as he chose to call them,have repeatedly disregarded our Constitution?
